I keep meaning to. But it'll be like the 4th time I've done that. I have yet to find an instance I'm happy with

I have maybe 5 users tagged as Russian bots, whether or not they are is debatable but they don't seem to comment on or post anything but Russian State propaganda.

And that would be doable, realistically. Though there's a bit of plastic on the bottom that would be quite difficult to replicate.

The point is they're only useful as a currency. And really only to a society that can't really make much. If society advances again to the point where a used bottlecap can be replicated, other systems will already have been established to make it less attractive.

It's almost certainly a joke but bottlecaps in a post civilization society would make a pretty decent currency, more so than gold.

They're light, easy to carry, hard to reproduce and therefore scarce. They're also useless for anything else. So if you happened to have a lot of caps laying around they might find their way to becoming a currency.

Gold is heavy, requires a lot of work to make it useful as a standard, and has other practical uses. Caps are actually better.

These weren't really attracts. These were journals kept by archeologists much more recently.

And quite honestly, the artifacts would be in better hands with the people from whom they were stolen.

If there's anything in the pan that you couldn't argue is physically part of the pan, you should clean it.

I highly doubt you're throwing your pan in the oven or letting it sit in a burner for an hour every time you need to cook something. There's a hot spot that you, as a result of using it for so long, are aware of, and that's where 90% of your cooking is taking place.

9/11 was convenient, but 90% of what happened was already happening at the time.

Bush was planning on invading Iraq as soon as he got elected. The housing crisis was set in motion by Clinton, and exacerbated by Bush. LA had already built the blueprint for a militarized police state with the Olympics in 84.

This shit was coming.

Which style of peeler? The stabby looking one or the safety razor looking one?

"seasoning"

This is factually wrong from the jump.

Cast iron does not heat evenly.

Cast iron quite specifically is very good at heat retention. Heat distribution suffers as a consequence. What you're seeing as heat distribution is the consequence of having to preheat your pan for so long.

It's a tool. Like a hammer.

Hammer hit nail, nail go in. But if you look for hammers you'll quickly find that there's a dozen or so different hammers available, all of which make nail go in.

Different hammers are for different types of hitting things.

Different cooking pans are for different types of cooking. All of them make food go hot.

Stainless steel make food go hot and also make pan sauce and clean real easy. But food sometimes stick. This is considered a feature, not a flaw.

Non stick make food go hot but food no stick. Doesn't last very long but it's very easy to clean. If you really love eggs they're a necessity.

Cast iron make food go hot and stay hot longer. But they don't heat very evenly and they're hard to clean, this is also considered a feature by... Certain people...

For some reason there's a community of gooners for cast iron. I cook a lot and have long since abandoned 99% of my cast iron cookware. The only things that survived was a burger press and a Dutch oven that has a ceramic glaze on it so it's easy to keep clean. I find that for just make food go hot, cast iron is not as good at it as stainless steel is. But if I'm making a stew, or bread, or frying something, a really big cast iron vessel really is the best thing. It stays at a temperature longer than anything else does, and that matters in specific applications.
